Hi,
I've used the following slicer in "tile" format on PowerBI
When selecting one tile, it turns black:
Can I change this to a different color and not black? I'm only able to change the background when unselected (yellow in the above example)
Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
Yes, you can use a new slicer it is much more flexible :
Pbix is attached

I think I'm still using the older version of PowerBI and dont have this new slicer option.
But i used the Chiclet slicer, which enabled to choose different background colour when a tile ("chiclet") is selected/unselected.

I like this enhanced personalization level of the new slicer, but I hate the fact that you don't have the list/dropdown option anymore. Anyone else on the same thought?

This is a HUGE complaint I have with Powerbi - and that is how what's available in these previous version pbix files don't display all the time with the current version. For version i.e., 2023.4.1 you get:
And then with my current version, I get this:
Yet if you copy the slicer/visual/etc from the older version to the newer version, you GET the older version and all fumctionality works. This is such horrid programming it's ridiculous.
Thanks
